Hi,

I was wondering what are the differences between queues and pipes implemented using multiprocessing python module. Am I correct if I say, in pipes, if another process writes to one receiving end concurrently, then an error will be raised and in queues the later processes data will just queued up?

Thanks
Nav

basically a Queue is a syncronization primitive used to
share and pass data to and from parent/child processes.

A pipe is as the name suggests, a socket pair connected
end-to-end allowing for full-duplex communications.

cheers
